What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Virginia
My sister has created emotional distress and abuse in the family and especially to my parents for as long as I can remember. My sister had two planned children without ever working before, and with a guy she had not known for very long. She wanted an excuse to stay home and hold the kids over my parents heads so she could continue to not do anything, and manipulate them. The stories go far and wide why I am reaching out for help. I don't believe either of the parents of the kids are responsible, the father often doesn't pay child support, or so I have heard from my parents and sister. My parents have expressed wishes of the father helping out more, and my sister will not have it. My parents have had issues with my sister ever since she was young. They had expressed kicking her out many times but do not have the heart to do so. Our extended family has seen my sister behavior for very long, and are afraid to say anything to my sister because she is a bully. I can not bare to see the affects she has had on my parents and myself any longer. My mom has helped my sister out and has been taken advantage of by my sister for too long and my sister is extremely ungrateful. I can say I even remember my sister (a friend even remembers) had sexually abused me when she was younger, and remember seeing her touch the son of the babysitter when we were younger. The same situation happened to my mom from one of her brothers, and he did it to his child. She has told her own child (Ava, age 3) that it is her fault that everyone is upset with my sister, and these upsets have happened way before my sister had kids. I would like to discuss details and get advice on what to do with this situation, or if there is anything to do.
